plain paper in the Cassette. This way, you can switch the paper source according to the type of
paper just by pressing the Paper Feed Switch.
You can also specify the type and size of paper to be fed from the Cassette using the printer
driver. You can print more efficiently by specifying the type of paper you use regularly this way,
since the paper source will be switched automatically to the Cassette for this paper.

Loading Paper
Important
z If you cut plain paper to 4" x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4 mm, 5" x 7" / 127.0 x 177.8 mm, or 2.13" x 3.39"
/ 54.0 x 86.0 mm (credit card-size) for a trial print, it can cause paper jams.
z You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.
z Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can
cause the paper to be jammed.
(A)
(B)
Note
z We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. For details on
the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, refer to “Using Specialty
Media” on page 8.

z Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may
cause paper jams.
z If paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite
direction until the paper becomes completely flat. See “Paper is curled.” on page 77.
z To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.
– When you do not print, remove unused paper from the Rear Tray, put them back into the

„ Replacing Ink Tanks
When ink tanks run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.
Important
Handling Ink
z To maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks.
Refilling ink is not recommended.
z Once you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks
removed.
z Replace empty tanks with new ones. Inserting partially used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to
clog. Furthermore, with such tanks, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace
the tanks properly.
z Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the
open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it
is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.
z Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and
white printing is specified.
Color ink is also consumed in Print Head Cleaning and Print Head Deep Cleaning, which may
be necessary to maintain the machine’s performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it
immediately with a new one.

Routine Maintenance
Keeping the Best Printing Results
To avoid drying of the Print Head and clogging of the nozzles, note the following.
Note
z Ink may blur depending on the paper in the following cases;
– Printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick
– Printed area is stained with water or sweat
z If the print head nozzles get clogged, printouts will become faint or particular colors will not be printed
properly. For details, see “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect” on page 52.
„ When You Turn Off the Machine
Follow the procedure below to turn off the machine.
(1) Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.
(2) Confirm that the Power lamp has gone out.
This takes a few seconds or as long as around 30 seconds.
(3) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
If you are using a power outlet strip, you can switch it off instead.
When you press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine, the machine automatically puts a
protective cap on the Print Head to prevent the ink from drying. If you remove the power cord or
switch off the power outlet strip before the Power lamp goes out, this capping will not be done
properly, causing the Print Head to dry and clog.
„ When You Are Not Using the Machine for a Long Time
When you are not using the machine for a long time, print or copy in both black & white and in
color, or perform Print Head Cleaning, about once a month to prevent degradation of the Print
Head.
Numerous nozzles are installed in the Print Head for high-precision printing. Just as the
uncapped tip of a ballpoint pen or marker becomes dry and unusable if it is not used for a long
period of time, the print head nozzles become blocked by dried ink. Periodically printing or
cleaning the Print Head can prevent this blockage.
Routine Maintenance
51
When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect
When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect even if ink remains in the ink tanks, the print
head nozzles are probably clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern to confirm the condition of the
nozzles and then perform Print Head Cleaning.
If print results are not satisfactory, performing Print Head Alignment may improve print quality.
Note
Before performing maintenance
z Open the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) and make sure that all lamps for the ink tanks are lit red.
If not, see “Getting the Ink Status Information” on page 46 and take the appropriate action.
z Increase the Print Quality setting in the printer driver settings.

Troubleshooting
Print Results Not Satisfactory
If the print result is not satisfactory such as white streaks, misaligned lines, and uneven colors,
confirm the paper and print quality settings first.
z Check 1: Do the page size and type settings match the size and type of
the loaded paper?
When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result. If you are printing a
photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type setting may reduce the quality of printout color.
Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched. In
borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type
setting and the loaded paper.
z Check 2: Did you set the print quality setting appropriately?
Select a print quality option suitable to the paper and image for printing. If you notice blurs or
uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.
* When printing from a PictBridge compliant device, set the print quality setting by using the
Operation Panel on the machine. You cannot make this setting from a PictBridge compliant
device.
* You cannot change the print quality setting when printing from a wireless communication
device.

For details on cleaning, see “Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller (Roller Cleaning)”
on page 64.
Troubleshooting
Cause
Inside of the machine is dirty.
Action
When performing duplex printing, if the specified page size does not match the
actual size of paper loaded in the paper source, the inside will become stained
with ink, causing printed paper to become smudged.
Perform the Bottom Plate Cleaning to clean the inside of the machine.
For details on cleaning, see “Cleaning the Inside of the Machine (Bottom Plate
Cleaning)” on page 65.
Note
To prevent the inside of the machine from stains, set the page size correctly.
Printing on inappropriate type of paper.
z Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled.
See “Media Types You Cannot Use” on page 10.
z When performing Borderless Printing, print quality may be reduced at the top
and bottom edges of the paper. Make sure that the paper you are using is
suitable for Borderless Printing.
For details, refer to “Printing Area” in the User’s Guide on-screen manual.
Paper is curled.
If you are using paper with either any of the corners or the whole printing
surface curled, the paper may become dirty, not feed properly, or both. Use such
paper after correcting paper curl as follows.
(1)With the printing side (A) facing up, cover the paper with a fresh sheet of
plain paper to avoid staining or scratching the surface.
(2)Roll up the paper in a direction opposite to paper curl as seen below.
(1)
(2)
(A)
(3)Check to see that the paper curl is within approximately 0.08 to 0.2 inches / 2
to 5 mm (B) in height.
(A)
(B)
We recommend printing curl-corrected paper one sheet at a time.
Note
Depending on the media type, the paper may be smudged or may not be fed
properly even if it is not curled.
In such case, follow the procedure described above to curl the paper before
printing.
This may improve the print result.
